How to improve a Kimber Montana... - 08/09/12
UPS dropped this one on my doorstep earlier today.
Kimber 84M Montana (previously a 7-08) with a Broughton 1:7.3" twist barrel chambered in 6XC. I had the gunsmith recontour the barrel so that it matched the factory barrel through the shank, but tapered to .6" at 24". It's topped with a Nightforce 2.5-10x32 with Zero Stop in Nightforce Ultralight rings on top of a Talley 20MOA base. Weighs 7lbs on the nose (minus the bipod).
Picture of the factory barrel next to this one...
I plan on shooting 115gr Berger VLD Hunting bullets if things go as planned. Should make a dandy longrange, lightweight, critter-gitter.
